Comparing Illyrian Jewellery with Albanian and Arberian Jewellery

Comparing Illyrian Jewellery with Albanian and Arberian Jewellery

The right-hand figure (20. Sketch of an Arbër woman in the seventh-ninth centuries AD) is an additional reconstruction (likely of early medieval Koman culture / early Albanian/Arbër dress), often paired with the Illyrian one. The core left-side reconstructions and Figure 27 label come directly from Wilkes’ book.

“(a) Bronze pectoral from Zaton, near Nin, Liburnia (after Šime Batović, 150 Godina Arheološkoga Muzeja u Zadru, 1982).
